Re: Attaching photo to an eBay message

I think she means the message system 2m. I saw today for the first time a buyer who had bought a Halloween costume for his baby sent me a pic wearing it.Made my day,,was so cute,,,but then I wondered how he sent me a pic like that.When I responded to him I saw we can now add pic to messages.Not wuse when they added it,but a good thing to have now.

Re: Attaching photo to an eBay message

I should have said potential buyer, as I didn't have her email address. I did ask for her email when I was unsuccessful with the new photo attaching process, but she never responded to the request. I was trying to answer a question she had that I only felt comfortable answering by comparing the auction item to another in a photo. No way was I going to put that photo in the listing and have someone assume they were bidding on both items. Tink, thanks for sharing your experience: Maybe it was just a 10/11 glitch. I'll assume that's the case, but thank you taadaa for your kind offer. The item sold for the opening bid to someone else, so I'm left wondering if I could have had a bidding war if the glitch hadn't occurred!

Re: Attaching photo to an eBay message

You cannot attach a picture to an eBay message, it accepts text only. If the buyer used PayPal their eMail addy is in the "Details" about the transaction and you can with that.

Hope this helps!

honda you can now send pics with ebay messages.I had a buyer send me a pic with him and his toddler 2 days ago. It has to have been after they have sent you a message already and you respond.You can't send one from the first message you send to a seller,but once they respond back there is now a way to upload up to 5 pics.Not sure when this was added,but it's relatively new.

If you want to see send me a message from anyone of my items I have for sale.When I respond back I will add a pic to show you.

Re: Attaching photo to an eBay message

There sure is a lot of chatter about “Attaching photo to an eBay message” but no one seems to have any viable answers.

I have had potential buyers send me photos through eBay messaging but I have never been successful sending anything attached to an eBay message rather or not the intended recipient had sent me an eBay message.

Thinking I may have gotten him in trouble with eBay I let him know what I had done. He said I didn’t cause any problem and went on to say: “In the first paragraph of the policy, it plainly states that I can't send photos that I didn't create. Also, under "What are the Guidelines" ? ALLOWED, Photos and text you created yourself. So there isn't any problem. Also, they are related to the items I questioned you about.

I have been unable to find any policy about sending pictures or about anything else.

Re: Attaching photo to an eBay message

Yes on my iPhone 4S but not until I updated to the latest Version 3.3.0 (I think that's the number. I can add to a New Msg that I have Not received a Msg from, or a Reply that I had received a Msg from a Seller.

In either case you must scroll to the very bottom of the Msg Box. There you will see a Camera Icon with a "+" sign inside of it. Click on that and you will get Three Buttons:Take a Photo (takes you to ur Camera)Choose a Photo (takes u to ur Photos)Cancel

That shud do it. This new capability (with this latest App Update I just added today) may also depend on the type of phone you have and may or may not work on a PC or laptop as I have not tried it as yet. Maybe others can answer these new questions.

Hope this helps!

NOW My BIG Question now is:

If I use this capability and select "Choose Photo " will:--- ALL MY Photos be available on eBay to copy/ use?

Re: Attaching photo to an eBay message

It's all good....this thread is over a year old. Last year the photo option was added to the messages between buyer/sellers....on the PC version. The day of this thread, there was a glitch...but it works great now.Just now..(a year later)...the eBay mobile app has caught up to the feature.
